"Ah, would she smile on me like this

And would she give me kiss for kiss

If I could stand there at her side?"

The wistful watcher softly cried.

Even as she spoke she closer crept,

Upon the broad low terrace stept,

And nearer leaned.—Just then, just there,

A street light sent a sudden glare

Across her face.—One startled glance,

And from the changes of the dance.
